What does Morrissey’s schedule have to do with his contemporaries’ schedule?
For Morrissey it is apparantly too much.

How many albums have The Cure released this century? Why compare that to Morrissey?

Each to their own I would say.

So are all the other 2nd nights where he plays back to back on the tour going to be cancelled.

Then he should not have scheduled it or agreed to it. His contemporaries are mentioned because they schedule shows and actually show up. I don't think it's hard to grasp.

Let’s wait and see. In Israel he had a day off between the two shows. I think that’s better.

 

[Bulbous Salutation]

Wow. Absolutely gutted.

 

[Luxo]

And 17 Stone heavier

Which makes Morrissey's cancellations even more pathetic. Smith is clearly heavier, and likely less fit than Morrissey, yet the Cure still manage long tours, playing back to back gigs, 2 and half hour sets, all the while charging the same prices as Morrissey (and sometimes less - Robert Smith has personally tried to counter Ticket Master's absurd practices).

Cancellations are par for the course with Morrissey, of course. It's just really sad that the fans accept it time and time again, are seemingly OK with being treated this way.

If (like me) you’re travelling a long way, and at great expense, gigs on this tour - I’d be very wary of going.

Looks like a boozy Sunday night in Nottingham for me.

Hoe should I know? What do you take me for, Nostradamus?

Looking at the current tour schedule, there doesn't seem to be much scope for re-scheduling Nottingham, until, say, end of July, or even August at the earliest, after which he disappears to South America. I don't know what's on at Notts TRCH entertainment-wise, but I don't think Moz will be able to just slot in this cancelled show. What's the odds? Slim to very slim, I reckon.

No he won't, he's a lying bastard and treats his fans like shit. Still waiting for the Castlefield Bowl gigs to be rescheduled from 2018

 

[Dusty Miller's Hornpipe]

‘Unforeseen circumstances’ doesn’t mean Morrissey can’t hack it, although no reason given, and his history of cancelling shows doesn’t bode well.

 

[Thewlis]

If he’s such a horrible person in your eyes then why continue to buy tickets for his shows or visit this forum?

Go see artist you do like who do not cancel shows and play 2,5 hours in huge arenas. It’s easy.

The shows closest to me are New York, which is about 4 or so hours away, so there's no way I am making plans for that.

 

[Jake the peg]

It won’t be rescheduled.

Ah well, he first did this to me in Glasgow in 1991. Many times since. At least he’s consistent.

I do, I'm off to see The National, New Order, and Echo & The Bunnymen later this year.

Great, love 2 out of 3 of them.

Question remains why you would want to go see an artist you do clearly dislike??

 

[javert]

Just another nail in his coffin of chances to secure record labels and management firms

Arctic monkeys canceled their gig in Dublin and had a very heart felt message regarding their singers illness, and was evidenced by his efforts the night before. Similar, with Lewis capaldi and his own health issues, personal statements mean a lot.

He claims to love his fans and the affection he gets, and then lambasts the industry for treating him the way they do. Then comes and pulls a stunt like this..

When have I ever said I dislike him?

 

[Famous when dead]

Not sure "see you in Leeds!" is the best thing to tag on to an 'apology' message after disappointing a large number of people who can't just dash there instead, but ho hum...

FWD.

 

[Thewlis]

Eh, like 10 minutes ago.

 

[Art-Hound]

Last night’s delayed start isn’t the norm; generally when Morrissey does turn, he’s punctual. I wonder if that has anything to do with tonight’s cancellation.

Although I know I shouldn’t speculate, I can only imagine that “unforeseen” is, in fact, “can’t be bothered”.

 

[Banbury Moz Army]

From what I have heard, It looks like a venue issue. But Moz will get hanged for it whatever.
